This document discusses constants, variables, and data types in Java. It defines two main data types - primitive and reference/object. The eight primitive data types are char, int, byte, float, long, short, double, and boolean. Reference variables are created using class constructors. There are three types of variables - local, instance, and class/static. Local variables are declared in methods/constructors/blocks and are only visible there. Instance variables are declared in a class but outside methods/constructors/blocks. Class variables are declared with the static keyword and can be accessed via the class name. Constants are declared with the final keyword and hold the same value during their existence.
